Ground-water availability on the Kitsap Peninsula, Washington
Arnold J. Hansen Jr., E.L. Bolke
1980, Open-File Report 80-1186
Unconsolidated deposits on the Kitsap peninsula are of glacial and interglacial origin. These deposits were divided into three units on the basis of their lithology and hydraulic properties. Two of the three units are composed of layers of sand and gravel alternating with layers of silt and clay. The third...
Hole-to-surface resistivity measurements at Salt Valley, Utah
Jeffrey J. Daniels, James H. Scott
1980, Open-File Report 80-981
Evaporites are an important potential medium for the storage of radioactive wastes. In order to ascertain the viability of a proposed waste isolation site, it is necessary to study its geology without extensive drilling that might destroy its structural integrity. Hole-to-surface and hole-to-hole geophysical measurements can be useful in supplementing...
Geophysical-geological analysis of Fairfax County, Virginia
David L. Daniels
1980, Open-File Report 80-1165
Aeromagnetic, aeroradioactivity, and gravity surveys of Fairfax County, Virginia, are interpreted with the aid of existing geologic data and local geophysical measurements. Highly magnetic metasedimentary rocks of the Peters Creek Schist and Sykesville Formation produce most of the magnetic anomalies of Fairfax County. In contrast, the granitoid rocks of the...

Ground support data from July 10 to July 29, 1978, for HCMM thermal satellite data of the Powder River Basin, Wyoming
S.H. Miller, Kenneth Watson, Roy Kipfinger
1980, Open-File Report 80-469
Radiometric and meteorological data were acquired at three ground stations located approximately 150 km apart in the Powder River Basin, Wyoming. These data were collected from July. 10 through July 29, 1978, to support the HCMM (Heat Capacity Mapping Mission) thermal satellite data acquired during this same time period. The...
A homogeneous stochastic model for earthquake occurrences
Anne S. Kiremidjian, Thalia Anagnos
1980, Open-File Report 80-1153
The objective of this study is to develop a probabilistic model for earthquake occurrences with temporal and spatial memory. Stochastic processes are used to characterize both the spatial and temporal dependencies of seismic occurrences along a fault. Currently, only homogeneous space and time transitions are considered. The resulting process however...

Field data describing the movement and storage of sediment in the East Fork River, Wyoming; Part I, River hydraulics and sediment transport, 1979
William W. Emmett, Robert M. Myrick, Robert H. Meade
1980, Open-File Report 80-1189
Bed-material gradation and water-surface slope were determined for a 3.3-kilometer reach of East Fork River, Wyo. During peak snowmelt runoff, frequent measurements of water discharge and sediment-transport rate provided data describing the inflow and outflow of water and sediment. In spring 1979, bankfull stage was exceeded on 8 days. Maximum...
Annotated bibliography of spectrophotometric studies in the system U-Fe-Se-S-O-H, 1967-78
K.A. McGee, A. Jefferson Sutton, Nicholas John Susak
1980, Open-File Report 80-199
Preparation of this bibliography was originally begun to supply background information on previous ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometric studies on various chemical species thought to be important in the formation of sedimentary uranium deposits; we also thought that preparing the bibliography would help direct experimental efforts to determine the association of...
Digital-model projection of saturated thickness and recoverable water in the Ogallala Aquifer, Texas County, Oklahoma
Robert B. Morton
1980, Open-File Report 79-565
A digital model was used to provide a quantitative description of the Ogallala aquifer in Texas County, Oklahoma, and to predict saturated thickness and water in storage from the aquifer at specified future times. The Ogallala aquifer, which consists of unconsolidated sand, gravel, and clay, is the principal source of...

Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas activities in the Mid-Atlantic and their onshore impacts: a summary report, November 1979
George S. Macpherson, Charles A. Bookman
1980, Open-File Report 80-17
Outer continental shelf (OCS) activity in the Mid-Atlantic Region to date has been limited to exploratory drilling. The first rig began drilling in March 1978. More rigs quickly moved into the Region, and as many as nine were working at the same time for a brief period in January 1979. As of November 1979,...

This bibliography was compiled under the auspices of the International Geologic Correlations Project's (IGCP) Research Group 115, "Siliceous Deposits of the Pacific Region"; IGCP is sponsored by UNESCO and the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS). Research Group 115 was originally proposed to IGCP in 1974 by Professor Azuma Iijima,...

The magnitude 5.2 (mb) northern Kentucky earthquake of July 27, 1980, at 18:52:21.8 UTC, located at 38.17N, 83.91W with a depth of 8 km (as determined by the National Earthquake Information Service), was particularly notable for the widespread damage it did, especially to older chimneys. Investigators from several different organizations...
In-situ measurements of seismic velocity at 27 locations in the Los Angeles, California region
James F. Gibbs, Thomas E. Fumal, Edward F. Roth
1980, Open-File Report 80-378
Studies conducted in the San Francisco Bay Region (Gibbs, Fumal and Borcherdt, 1980) have shown that average shear-wave velocity can be readily tied to quantitative estimates of ground motion such as ground amplification and earthquake intensity. Furthermore, when certain physical properties of the geologic materials such as texture, hardness and...
